The ones I tried with double-sided adhesive tape came apart very
quickly in the water. I did try to coat the edges of the flies with
epoxy, but it obviously was not enough to waterproof them.


One may also make the "spoons" up first, just spread the epoxy on the
thich paper, or card, and complete the rest later. If you use nail
varnish, glitter, etc ,then you donīt need the metallised tape.


Now, I use my own fingernail patterns, as they are easy to make, and
very successful.

ordered several from the link above. Will delay tying but will
probably be the right stuff. Will let you know how it goes. The site
had s sveveral choices. Tim


Howdy Mike,

The brown truck just left me this and I'm VERY pleased. The first
thing was that they stuck a very good bumper sticker in the box "Got
Backing?". The second is that they sent an additional little bag
marked "samples". I'm glad because the Blue and Pearl in there is
something I should have had on the original order. What was included
were a half dozen packages of various "WTP Decorator Tape". Dude (and
I apologize for using the word "dude", sir, just that I'm from "The
People's Republic of Boulder" and it has slipped in to my lexicon)
this stuff is amazing. Super prismatic/holographic/pearlescent or
whatever the word is to describe whatever the heck that is. Seems like
a great product and I really dig the service from http://www.sal****erflies.com.

Best,

Tim
